Re: Steelers trade for Levi Brown

really don't think this had much to do with the Ravens trade. When you have the worst tackle in the league pretty much anything you do is an upgrade and quite often increased competition will spur performance.

Re: Steelers trade for Levi Brown

kind of symbolic of how far weve come as organizations... we trade for one of the better LTs in the league while they trade for one thats not much, if any, better than the one they already have thats horrible.

Could of been a block move also by Ozzie. Pittsburg to get Monroe would mean they Wouldnt have a 3rd,4th or 5th rounder for a talent strapped team.

Re: Steelers trade for Levi Brown

I think so. It's becoming a little bit more apparent that Monroe was available and the ravens may have beaten the Steelers to the punch.

Again I could be wrong but it appears as if Pitt took the consolation prize.

I think you are right. Brown this year is get this more expensive then Monroe. Brown counts 3.6 million against cap this year to the Steelers for a conditional rental. Ozzie blocked the Steelers. Ozzie plays Chess and Colbert checkers.
